Amit Dey Assistant Manager at WNS Global Services, Bangalore

The course material was fantastic and the trainer was equally amazing. I received regular calls from Simplilearn to check the quality of ongoing training. Sample Question paper prepared by Simplilearn really helped me. The certification helped me to change my role from Senior Program Analyst to Assistant Manager - Operations with a hike. Thank you Simplilearn.

I was working in the mechanical engineering field for a couple of years and wanted to take a turn to IT. One of my friends introduced me to Simplilearn. They not only showed me a path but also guided me in every step. I have completed my Prince2 Foundation & Practitioner certification and CSM from Simplilearn and have also enrolled for PMI-ACP. The learnings have boosted my career and helped me to gain a hike. Now I am working as a Project manager Scrum Master in one of the world's leading E-learning provider company.

Abhipreet Misra Engagement Manager at mokSa Technologies, Bangalore

I have completed Prince2 Practitioner certification with Simplilearn. This certification has helped me to gain a positive attitude about my life carrier. My experience with Simplilearn was very nice and smooth. The trainer helped me understand the fundamentals and practical aspect of Project Management with real-time examples which were very helpful. He even helped us to prepare a quick reference guide which we can refer in future and get more clarity. Prince2 certification has helped me to boost my career from Pre-Sales consultant in Ericsson to Engagement Manager at mokSa Technologies.

The content was very interesting and helpful. The trainer used to share as much as real-time examples with us, which was very good for our understanding and learning experience. He was full of energy. Thank you!

The trainer was very knowledgeable and explained the content in simple language which helped me to understand it easily. Simplilearn's PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner was a good experience. I highly recommend Simplilearn.

Nibedita Banerjee Lead QA at ansrsource, Bangalore

Rajan Sood Project Manager at CPA Global, Noida

The learning experience with Simplilearn was simply amazing. I have done 4 courses from Simplilearn in the last 2 years (including 1 instructor-led course). The course contents are rich and relevant, easy to grasp and implement. In case of few certification courses, Simplilearn offers 4 test exams. These exams almost mimic real exams in terms of quality of questions. Instructor-led courses are even more engaging. The trainer is very helpful by not just clearing the concepts but clearing those with the help of practical examples related to any industry. I will recommend my friends and colleagues for any future courses they want to pursue from Simplilearn and looking for many more courses for myself in Simplilearn.

Simplilearn is a wonderful platform where any fresher, as well as professional individual, can enhance their career by opting a numerous number of courses. These courses indeed help the individual to learn the particular course as per the industry standard. The certification helped me to enhance my career from Assistant Manager Operations to PMO- Assistant Manager with a hike.

The PRINCE2® Foundation and Practitioner Certification from Simplilearn helped me transform my career from a Team Leader to Assistant Project Manager with 25% hike in my salary. Earlier, I was working with finance and accounts and conversing with customers in the BPO sector but now I have moved into technology and am handling projects that are both challenging and interesting.
